Troublesome
Those stairs will kill me before I even get to the school.
Let me explain my dilemma.
Today is the day I start being a student at the Shibusen and the school is on top of a mountain, so there are some stairs. That's nothing new to me but nobody told me that it would be that many and that it would be that hot. The sun burns down and I could feel the sweat on my back with every step I took.
My Brother on the other hand took every step with the lightness of a feather. He always was the more athletic from us. That's probably from the many fights he got challenged to by the punks in the city we´re from, which thought they could beat him. Man…they were wrong.
But me, I am not that athletic, not that I am not good at sports and that stuff but I am lazy and that's just too troublesome for me.
So while my brother started to go up the stairs, I stood there at the bottom of them and looked up to the top of them that I couldn't even see because there are so many.
Stupid stairs. We live in a world where escalators are a thing, so why not built them instead.
While I still struggled with the first few stairs, my brother was waaaaayyyy ahead of me.
"Brooo.", I screamed after him. "Wait for me."
He stands still and turned around so he could see me, just to realize how far I was behind. But instead of just standing there and waiting for me he came back. Without my permission he took me up and threw me over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. Well, I think you can guess how much I liked that.
Not a bit.
"Let me down, do I look like a sack of potatoes to you, idiot?", I grumbled and started to struggle in his grip.
"I don't want to be late on our first day of school, Bailey.", he reasoned and I had to agree with him. I am too slow.
"Then at least give me a piggyback ride, that's not as embarrassing as…", I gestured with my hands at my current position. "..this."
Without any other word he let me down and kneeled down in front of me so I could climb on his back.
"Thanks bro.", I mumbled and tightened my grip around his shoulders as he stood up.
While I was slowly climbing the stairs he went up there with the speed and grace of a gazelle. Now we were much faster and I was sure we would not come late to our first class.
As we reached the higher levels of the stairs, a girl with two pigtails and green eyes rushed by. She was running up the stairs, RUNNING. How is that even possible? Is she some kind of superhuman or what?
Now I feel really out of shape and lazy. Thanks girl I don't know.
Never mind. Just a few steps further, there was a girl that was so out of breath I thought she would collapse right there, till the girl with the pigtails shouted something to the girl that was out of breath. She tightened her back and put her thin black hair in pigtails, like the girl before.
"Because that's gonna help.", I said as we passed her.
"Shush, be nice.", my brother said in an accusing tone.
Then he turned around and asked the girl: "Should I carry you to?"
I looked annoyed at him. "Are you serious, how do you think this is going to work, through some kind of magic or what?"
The girls face went red, like a tomato and she stuttered: "N-n-n-no, tha-thank you."
"See, so let's go, please, you know I don't like talking to other people."
My Brother just rolled his eyes and said to the girl: "Well then, see you later."
Then he rushed forward and a few minutes later we were on top of the stairs. In front of us is a giant building.
That's the Shibusen and I have to admit that I was kind of blown away. It was just so enormous and intimidating.
I slipped from my brothers back and brushed some invisible dirt of my skirt.
"You look so cute, Bailey.", my brother squeaked an fluffed through my hair.
I jumped back and glared at him. He knew that I hate it when he does that, but it makes him so happy, so I endured it…sometimes. "Stop that, you know I don't like it."
He smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He is a gentle giant, who loves everything cute and adorable, even though he doesn't look like one because of his grim appearance. Tall, dark hair, piercing silver eyes, you know what I mean?
"Come on lets go, we don't want to be late, do we?"
As soon as we stepped into the building a random blue haired dude threw a punch at him. Out of habit I jumped in and headed that punch of, before he was even near my brother. I felt the acid burning in my fingertips, but I held it back and tossed that guy away. "So troublesome.", I just sighed und turned around.
That's not really worth my energy and I don't want to be in trouble at the first day in a new school, like I was before. This time I promised my brother I would behave and be nice. Didn't worked out as I wanted it to I guess. Well shit.
Then there was a push and I almost fell over, almost. Outraged about all those annoying Incidents I turned around and looked at the face of the blue haired guy again. "What a stupid face.", I murmured and bared my teeth.
My brother pushed me behind him, even though I protested, and held out a Hand in front of that guy, barely touching him, and said with a smile on his face. "I wouldn't recommend fighting her."
"Get out of my-"
That guy crashed in the wall on the other side of the room before he even realized it. "I warned you.", was everything my brother said and went to our classroom with me.
"That was really cool.", I grinned and stepped in to the classroom.
All heads turned to us and immediately I felt uncomfortable. It's not that I am not used to it, because when someone sees my brother and me together, it's their immediate reaction.
Small girl that looks cute, but with a kind of bitch expression and a guy with a friendly smile but a grim face and so tall that he has to bow his head a little that he could fit through the door. That looks just weird to everyone who doesn't know us. I don't blame them…just a little bit, because it's fun.
While I was still analysing everyone, my brother went to the teacher and talked to him about something, I really didn't care about what. I guess he just got us registered for this class, or something like that.
He came back and gave me a nametag on which was only one word written. 'Weapon' "What's that for?"
"So everyone knows you are a weapon."
I rolled my eyes and joined my brother who stepped in the classroom. "I already know who my partner is, so they don't have to know."
He stood next to a window, so I climbed on to the windowsill and sat down. Just as I sat down this black haired girl we saw at the stairs rushed into the room. She looked really out of breath.
"Oh look she made it. I'm going to congratulate her."
"Bro just don´t.", I said, annoyed by his politeness. Why does he always have to be so polite? It's not like they knew him or anything like that.
Just as my brother wanted to get to her, she tripped and fell right into another girl, which looked kinda absent minded. My brother ran to them and asked if they are ok and also introduced himself to the black haired girl. "I am glad you made it. By the way, my name is Bones Amethyst."
That girl struggled to get one word out of her mouth and her face went so red that every tomato would have envied her.
Ugh.
For me it would be too troublesome, I guess for everyone it would be.
Then I saw some random guy with a creepy look on his face, going right into my direction.
Please don't talk to me, please don't talk to me.
"Hey there, how-."
Suddenly out of nowhere my brother appeared behind him. "What do you think you are doing here?"
That creepy guy shrank to a little puddle of fear right in front of me and stuttered something like: "N-n-no-th-thing, s-s-sorry."
After that he ran back to his friend and looked like he was going to cry the rest of the day.
Tsk, pathetic.
Then the Teacher started to talk. "This is everyone, huh…"
He seemed like a normal person but what do I know about other people. They are kinda all the same to me, except for my brother, he is just too nice for this place.
"I am one of the teachers, Sid, today you gathered around…"
I knew what he was going to say and to be honest I really didn't care at this point. What would he tell me what I didn't know already? My brother will be my Meister and I am going to be his Weapon, anything else is really uninteresting to me, so whatever.
While the teacher was still talking I looked around. Everyone was so excited and nervous, except for two guys. One with jet black hair and eyes that were a darker shade of blue, but as piercing as my brothers. The other one was a blonde dude also with blue eyes but he looked a little bit softer than the first guy and a little bit dumber even though that could be just this carefree look on his face.
Maybe I am not the only one that's not that impressed by this school or teacher, I don't know.
My brother gave me a piece of paper. "It´s our timetable, we will have some classes together but not all, so behave, please.", he said and smiled gently.
I rolled my eyes. "I don't know what you mean; I am the nicest person I know on this planet."
He just chuckled and patted my head. Why does he always have to do this? I'm not a little puppy or something like that.
"That's all for today, you´re dismissed.", the teacher said and everyone started to leave the room.
We were the last ones so as soon as we entered the hallway we saw that black haired girl transform into a halberd, interesting choice for a Weapon.
My brother wanted to step in but I held him back and smiled. "Look at them, they got this."
And as always I was right. After one strike those two idiots, one of them was that creepy guy that tried to talk to me, had to go to the nurse. "They are even worse than I thought they would be."
"That's not a nice thing to say, Bailey.", he said but couldn't do anything else than smile a little himself.
"But it´s the truth.", I just replied and started to walk into the direction I thought the exit was, till my brother pointed out I was going in the wrong direction.
"Come on, go with the other girls. They are heading to the girls dorm, go and make some friends.", my brother suggested, even though he knows what I thought of this idea.
"Okay but I don't like other people, so don't even start to get your hopes up.", I just said and closed up to the other girls, one of them was the black haired girl my brother talked to before.
They stopped and looked back at me. The black haired girl smiled and introduced herself. "Hello, my name is Tsugumi Halberd. " The other ones joined and I started to feel more and more uncomfortable.
"I am Anya Hepban.", the blonde girl said, she kinda looks like an arrogant brat to me.
"And I am…hmm, I forgot my name again.", the girl with light brown hair and the big boobs said.
I raised my brow. What the hell, how can you forget your own name?
"That's Tatane Meme.", the black haired girl, Tsugumi, introduced the other girl.
Sigh, do I have to introduce myself now? I don't want to do this kind of stuff; I just come here because I want to get better as a weapon.
"I am Bailey Amethyst, please don't talk to me."
The girls looked kinda confused at me but then turned around and continued to get to the girls dorm.
For the rest of the walk they didn't talk to me and that for its own was very pleasing.
As I thought I survived the first I remembered I had to move in to the dorm… and share a room with other girls.
God fucking damn it.
